Youth
Firestop Program Fire deaths, numerous injuries and property damage
into the millions of dollars have been directly attributed to children
lighting fires in Manitoba on an annual basis. Juvenile arson arrests
exceeded adult arson arrests for the first time in history. The
number of fires set by children is growing. In the time it takes
to read this, a child may have changed his/her life and the life
of his/her family with the strike of a match.
The goals
of the Youth Firestop Program are to:
- Stop
curiosity
fire setters from
injuring themselves and others
- Reduce property
damage caused by children playing with fire; and
- prevent the
child fire setter from becoming the adult fire setter.
